Thanks, that's a great reference.
Who would think of looking for "friendly error messages" ?
I guess MS must have had enough flak about that themselves, if they 
provide ways to turn it off in the client *and* in the IIS server.
Now the only thing left to do is to provide a way to turn this off in 
Apache and Tomcat, and all the other webservers out there.
